For some people working in the family business means suits, power
lunches, and afternoon meetings. For Wes Darling it was guns, lies, and
dead bodies.
The Darling Detective Agency was founded in 1876 by
Aaron ‘Dusty’ Darling. Now Wes’s chain smoking, stressed out mother is
grooming Wes to take over. How does he handle his mother’s demands? He
heads to Key West, moves onto a sailboat, and takes a job tending bar at
a little joint called Dirty Alvin’s.
Life is carefree until his
mother’s lover, a man who mentored Wes for years, is murdered on a Key
West Beach. Reluctantly, Wes is drawn into a spinning web of murder, sex
and deceit.
First there are his mother’s pleas for help. Throw
in a six-foot-tall red-headed stripper, a retired mobster who acts like
it’s the 1940’s, a pair of dim-witted hit men, a phobic psychic named
Elvis, a small fortune in stolen diamonds, and what do you have? Mayhem
in Key West.

FREE -- US Kindle Edition -- Winston's War: A Novel of Conspiracy by Michael Dobbs
Michael Dobbs' thrilling novel about the dawn of World War II, and Winston Churchill's rise to power.
It
is the dawn of World War II, and Neville Chamberlain believes he has
bought "peace for our time" from Adolph Hitler, who has just seized
Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. The English are alarmed by the huge German
army, while the soldiers that would defend London don't even have steel
helmets. For many, compromise and appeasement seem to be England's best
defense.
But there are a few leaders who don't agree. Among them
is Winston Churchill, who understands that the relentless march of
fascism will be democracy's death knell. In October 1938, Churchill
pleads his case in the press to the BBC's Guy Burgess. One of these two
will become the most revered man of his time, and the other will be
known as the greatest of traitors.
This stunning novel brings to
life the surprising political intrigues that set the stage for World War
II, and brings alive the passionate, grumpy, whiskey-drinking Winston
Churchill, as he inspires his fellow countrymen to take on the world's
mightiest army.
